Although playing for nine years, Nevitt appeared in only 155 games, playing a total of 826 minutes, which equates to fewer than 18 complete NBA games. After a return to the Rockets, he also appeared for the Michael Jordan-led Bulls (during a 1991-92 10-day contract), and had 1 game with the Spurs - the 1993 season opener, on November 5, in which he made 3-of-6 free throws in less than a minute against the Golden State Warriors, being released shortly after.

Nevitt played in 16 playoff games, 7 with the Lakers and Pistons and 2 with the Rockets. He was a member of the 1985 Lakers' championship roster and is the tallest NBA player to ever win an NBA Championship. After leaving the Lakers for the Pistons, Nevitt was on the roster of the Chuck Daly coached team that lost to the Lakers in 7 games in the 1988 NBA Finals.

Nevitt is currently an IT professional living in Raleigh-Durham, NC. [1]

In February 2014, Nevitt was, jokingly, named to the Mount Rushmore of the 4 worst NBA players by the TNT Inside the NBA Crew. This was a joke off of the question of the NBA's Mount Rushmore of its greatest players being posed to LeBron James, in which he named Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Oscar Robertson.
